Former Israeli Generals Accuse Settlers of Ethnic Cleansing, Cite Government Backing

Former Israeli generals are accusing West Bank settlers of ethnic cleansing — the forced removal of a population — with government support, calling settler violence "Jewish terrorism" and a top security threat to Israel (New York Times, August 31, 2026). Their claims echo Amnesty International's June 2026 report alleging Israel uses war crimes to speed West Bank annexation.
